What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our website. Think of them as digital notes that help our platform remember your preferences and provide a smoother experience. At CentraLearn AI, we use various tracking technologies beyond traditional cookies, including web beacons, local storage, and analytics tools.

These technologies work quietly in the background, collecting information about how you interact with our financial modeling courses and AI learning materials. They help us understand which content resonates with learners and where we can improve our educational offerings.

Types of Tracking We Use

How Tracking Enhances Your Learning

Our tracking systems do more than just collect data—they actively improve your educational experience. When you're working through our financial modeling courses, cookies help us remember where you left off, which practice problems you've completed, and your preferred learning pace.

Personalized Learning Paths

By analyzing how you interact with different types of content, we can suggest relevant courses and identify areas where you might benefit from additional practice. For instance, if you spend extra time on machine learning algorithms, our system might recommend advanced AI courses or supplementary materials.

Progress Tracking and Resume Functionality

Essential cookies ensure you can pick up exactly where you left off in any course. This includes your position in video lectures, completed assignments, and even notes you've taken within our platform.

Data Retention and Storage

Different types of cookies have varying lifespans on your device. Essential cookies typically expire when you close your browser or log out, while preference cookies might last up to one year to remember your settings between visits.

• Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser
• Preference cookies last up to 12 months
• Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized after 90 days
• Marketing cookies typically expire after 30 days
• Course progress data is retained for the duration of your enrollment plus two years

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for controlling how cookies work on your device. The simplest method is using our cookie preference button above, which will reject all non-essential tracking while maintaining basic platform functionality.

Browser-Level Controls

All major browsers allow you to manage cookies directly. You can typically find these settings in your browser's privacy or security section. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies may interfere with your ability to access courses and track your progress.

Third-Party Analytics

We use services like Google Analytics to understand how students use our platform. You can opt out of Google Analytics specifically by installing their browser add-on, or by using our cookie rejection controls above.

What Happens When You Reject Cookies

When you choose to reject non-essential cookies, you'll still have access to all our courses and core functionality. However, some conveniences will be lost. Your learning preferences won't be remembered between sessions, and we won't be able to provide personalized course recommendations.

You can change your mind at any time by clicking the cookie preference button again. Your choice is stored locally on your device, so you'll need to set preferences separately on each device and browser you use to access CentraLearn AI.

Updates to This Policy

As we develop new features for our financial AI platform, our use of cookies may evolve. We'll update this policy to reflect any significant changes and notify active students through email when important modifications are made.

We recommend reviewing this policy periodically, especially if you have concerns about data privacy or want to understand how new platform features might affect cookie usage.
